#1 Christopher Thornberg, with Beacon Economics in Los Angeles, suggested that efforts to rescue manufacturing jobs will have to wait as the state grapples with its budgetary crisis.

Idiot! By then they are gone!

Solve the budget crisis by lining up the state senators and representatives and making them swim across the Salton Sea.

When the all die from the pollution and bacteria the budget crisis is easily solved.

#2 It takes NO money to halt most of these "dis-incentives". Just the will to do so.

#3 The arrogance and ignorance of the politicians in the California State Legislature is breathtaking. They pass 1600 new laws annually, and literally think that the measure of their job performance is the amount of micromanagement control they exert over every aspect of your life here. They cannot imagine that people are voting with their feet and bailing out, because there are so many people lined up to move here. BUT....those leaving are producers and wage earners, and those arriving are net non-producers who arrive with their hand out. How else do you explain that we have 12% of the US population but 30+ % of the welfare cases? This is the future for the nation with Zero running the country.......

#4 The next big blow to the California economy will be the expansion of port facilities on the west coast of Mexico, and the highways to link them directly to the American midwest and east. This will allow the lucrative Pacific trade to bypass California's extortionist pinko unions and power-freak legislators.
In 20 years there will be nothing left but entertainment and welfare, the latter most likely financed by federal handouts extorted with the votes of a massive deadbeat population.

#5 Sorry AC, Hollywood is gone also.

The Hollywood of old is now gone as well. The once proud movie mecca is now run down, with gangs, the homeless and prostitution rampant on any given night. The only decent part of town is the unincorporated West Hollywood, know for its high concentration of gays. That part of town is not bad actually, although the traffic, like most of Los Angeles, is a nightmare.

Hollywood's message to California: Leaving on a jet plane

California is losing hundreds of millions of dollars annually to these "runaway" productions. Runaway used to mean a film was over budget, or it was breaking box office records. Now it means they will film somewhere else.

#7 The environmentalists have been working to kill agriculture for years by restricting the water rights. They want to be sure that all of the rivers are pristine, and the water is not wasted on farms.

#8 I'm sure Obama's Cap & Tax will help manufacturing (move overseas).

#9 #4 And in 2014 the expansion of the Panama Canal is supposed to be complete, which means a shipping lane from Shanghai to Houston.

"Governor Perry, I'm thinking about relocating my business to Texas. Can you tell me what regulations apply?

"Regu-what?"

#10 CA's ag is being laid waste by the Endangered Species Act, wich has resulted in a manmade drought. Totally by design. As the judge noted, farmers have "junior" water rights. End of game. Sacramento has spoken.

#11 The Governor should make up a NERO AWARD of a golden violin and present it to each Sacramento twit on TV.

Oh, and lead a mare into the state capital presenting it to the leadership saying: "your wife has come to visit"
